My only problem with CD is they don't hold my attention. I can listen to
them for sounds but, for some strange reason, I don't take them seriously
for music!

Because you have an emotional attachment to the *idea* of vinyl, because
you like the ritual of cleaning the disc, watching it turn, lowering the
stylus into it etc? Perhaps CDs are simply too easy to play for your
liking.


Quite possibly all of that!


And it's not like the (far) superior soundstaging of vinyl has anything
to do with it,

How do you work that one out? Vinyl has a poor crosstalk figure (typically
around 25-30dB) whilst with CD the crosstalk is as good as the producer of
the recording wants it to be. How does that create "(far) superior
soundstaging" for vinyl?


No idea - all I know is CDs have virtually no 'soundstaging' at all,
compared with almost all vinyl...??

(Reverb is *not* soundstaging....)
